Unfortunately that correction will not work for me. :(
All that changing the 18 to 21 does is make the query start counting from 
21:00h instead of 18:00h, however because at least 14 channels on my lineup 
are filled with data, it still counts as too many hits, and even increasing 
the start time to 23:00h will result in at least 14 hits, and therefore not 
reload the day.

Now if there is concern about too many downloads with my approach, the 
channel table could be modified with a flag indicating whether or not to 
use that channel to determine if a day is complete, thus eliminating the 
"channel with no data" concern voiced earlier.  However I still don't see a 
way around the "I'm too lazy to setup my lineup properly" problem ;-)
